Just Threw My Controller for the First Time

[Siris]

So I was playing No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise (pretty great game) when I reached the Rank 2 battle with Bad Girl. I haven't even gotten to the part where you fight her, but something so annoying happened that I actually did throw my SIXAXIS at the closest bed. See, in NMH, enemies with guns have perfect accuracy if you aren't dodge rolling, and if they have an SMG you are not only stun-locked but constantly losing energy for your weapon until you can't block and are then just normal stun-locked until you die. And now that I've died five times due to the game plunking down like four of the bastards AND about a dozen guys with melee weapons, I have finally lost my controller throwing virginity.

Thanks Suda. Class act

And so you told everyone here on the escapist about how you have bad self control. Way to go!

Feels good doesn't it, then you realize you need to buy a new TV and controller.
Happened to me almost, thank god my chunky TV took the impact pretty well.

Fuck you Batman: Arkham Asylum. Fuck you.

Yeah, I'm sure this anonymous person is really upset about what you think.

OT: I have yet to completely lose it and throw my controller.

I'm very ancy with buying new things. If I get into my rage mode, usually I'll lightly toss it on the couch.

And then proceed to take off all my clothing and violate myself with a remote.

Was it perhaps, when you had to face a beast in an absurdly cramped room while many waves of enemies came at you?

Thank you for reminding me of that part *cries*
But actually no, it was when I fought joker on the hardest difficulty, looking back at I don't think it was that hard, and if not I must've been annoyed at the time.

That's the exact reason the save on hard I have hasn't advanced very much more than the aforementioned **** of a fight, the sheer terror of having to face joker. Good job on making me fear the last boss Rocksteady. Bad job at making me fear him because of how infuriatingly frustrating he's going to be.

I lost mine with a Genesis controller. I think it was sonic and my brother challenged me to a 1 life run and it had to be under 50 minutes.... Yeah, lets say I threw it done on the bed very lightly, and never played the game again, I think I was 5. I THINK I was 5, pretty sure I was.

I was ready to make a wings of redemption joke, please quote me if anybody else saw it 'cos I was laughing my ass off at it.

Here is a vid of the climax if anybody hasn't seen it.


On topic. I have never thrown a controller, I have squeezed one very tightly but never launched the sucker. I don't get that wound up at games, just don't see the point.
